I'm not new to 'things fetish' but I am new to wanting to go to a fetish ball - Can anyone advise of forthcoming fetish balls in the North of England ?

The usual Burns Night grand assembly of The Firm took place as usual at a 2 floor inn called 'The Lamb' situated in Pentonville on a dry thawing Saturday night.

Having read (and heard) much about this fetish/club night I decided to find out for myself what it is like. We arrived a little after ten to a warm welcome from Tony (the organiser)...on making our way through to the main dance area we found several 'stages' to dance on, and a cross in one corner. The club is clean, as are the ladies loos *S*. The music is dance/trance and is loud...but it makes a rather pleasant change! The crowd was friendly if sometimes a little on the young side....and no....it never got really crowded.

I am a researcher on the 2nd series of Comedy Gameshow, 'Your Face or Mine', for CH4.

A group of us have adopted Club L'Amour as our monthly fetish home. For me, it supplies what I want in a fetish club: comfort, relaxation, the chance to watch people having sex as well as doing BDSM scenes, and an air of quiet decadence that the bigger nightclubs lack.

From the Fist Mailing List (mailinglist@fist.co.uk):
Great News...........FIST is back!! at Imperial Gardens. Yes, that is right, seems that the powers that be were happy with our behaviour at the last FIST (our closing party) so if we keep that up we can carry on!!

Update: This event has been cancelled, according to email received from FIST today (18-01-2003).

I was really looking foreward to attending my first fetish club in four months. I was just praying that my now over sensitive buttocks were up to the challenge. I had actually heard quite a lot about Wicked, and relished the chance to return to Cynthia's, my favourite fetish venue. The only thing which slightly played on my mind, was the price. As a community we technically qualify as a minority, and on occasion are exploited because of this. At £25 for a years membership and £20 entrance fee it would have to be something very special to justify such a bold price tag.

I've been meaning to post here for some time, since I've been a lurker for almost a year, thought it was about time! Here is a review I wrote last month about the December BFE. It might be of interest to anyone in the South West who hasn't been yet and indeed to anyone thinking of having a stall there.

Theres a new book out, saw it in Sohos Original Bookshop, of photos by UK Fetish Photographer Ben Westwood. This guy is great! Hes really captured the erotic essence. Anyone else seen this book? What did you think?
